Review:
The Kombo Beach, often erroneously referred
to by some guide books as the Novotel, is set
in 6 acres of resort grounds between 325 metres
of golden sands. It was built in 1981 by
Arne Sanders, with interior décor by Halvorsen
Reine,
and was finally opened in 1983.

From the Badala Highway the approach is lined
on either side with
trees, flower gardens and a row of terracotta
monkeys. A porch thatched in elephant grass
(nyantangho) is set on solid sculptured pillars
is in front of the main reception lounge.

To your left is the
Kingfisher Bar decked out in rattan seats, and
opens out onto the Bellengo. Straight forward
is the Lekukai which is translated into 'Place
of Eating'.
To the right, the reception, Elsafe desk, phones
and shops .

There is a conference hall which can seat 145
persons but is more often used for showing
films.
The restaurants form an L-shape around the pool.
The majority of guests prefer to eat outside
in the peaked thatch Bantaba.

Around the pool sunchairs overflow onto the
grass. By the 3 beach front gates, the active
entertainment team is situated. There is a large
entertainment area between the swimming area
and the road outside.

Just after the children's play area are 4 nearly
identical, 3-floored blocks which enclose 250
modern styled rooms, which are either twin or
double, and almost all have a bathtub and shower.
At the edge of the Kombo Beach Hotel is the
volleyball pitch and tennis courts.
